The CPT calls upon the Greek authorities to take the necessary steps to ensure that:
all detainees are provided with full information, in a language they understand, on
their legal situation;
all detainees are provided with clean mattresses, blankets and bedding;
all detainees have ready access to toilet facilities, including at night;
all detainees are offered at least two hours of outdoor exercise a day, including on
weekends;
each wing has a common association room, equipped with television and games, and a
room for prayers;
regular maintenance work and disinfection is carried out and sufficient funding is
made available to this end;
sufficient quantities of detergent and products for personal hygiene are made available
at all times to detainees;
the eight small cells with almost no access to natural light in the isolation wing on the
third floor are not used for detaining persons for prolonged periods.
As regards health care, the CPT recommends that the Greek authorities guarantee an
integrated approach in the delivery of health care and ensure that:
-
access to a doctor is improved by guaranteeing that a doctor and a nurse are present
every day, including on weekends;
medical confidentiality is strictly guaranteed;
if a decision is taken to segregate a detained person due to his medical situation, he is
placed in appropriate conditions according to his needs.
Further, comprehensive procedures and training should be put in place to monitor and
prevent acts of self-harm and attempted suicides.
